Supporting your users
In embedded partner relationships, partners take on the responsibility of supporting their customers.
To properly debug a customer that is encountering an issue, it is recommended that the partners support team adds a privileged user (possible via a call to our add people API).
If this user is created and removed before the end of the month, it will not incur a charge.
